The Xavier 19 AGATHA BARBARA LAVALLEE 9 John St. Valley Falls, R. I. Of course, you all know this young lady Agatha, who journeys forth each morning from Valley Falls in a large locomotive. Her witty sayings and sunny smiles have been a source of cheerfulness to all her classmates. During her four years at S.X.A., she has gained both friends and knowledge. Agatha has a delight- ful voice and it is a pleasure to listen to her '— speak, when she is called upon at any time to do so. Dull would he the class without her ready response and merry laugh. Agatha has a hobby, that is to stay a few minutes after dismissal to converse with her very intimate friends and her inseparable friend Mildred. She intends to climb the ladder until she has reached the desired goal. MILDRED ELIZABETH HENNESSEY 76 Providence Street Providence, R. I Mildred is one of the attractive and popular members of the Class of ’29. Her fun-loving nature makes her extremely popular at S.X.A. She smiles, she dances, she talks brightly and entertainingly, she enjoys everything, whether y it is playing in the Gym. being a hostess, or helping Aeneas to arrive at his longed for destination. When you see her, you are aware that Agatha is tucked away in the background somewhere. In leaving the Alma Mater of her girlhood, she has imprinted a “something” in the hearts of her classmates which will never be dimmed. ELIZABETH MARTINA FEENEY 44 Wabun Avenue Providence, R. I. The Senior Year showed a slight change in “Betty.” Up to this year she was a demure little miss, but now she leads in fun and social activities, as well as in her studies. She is a friend to all. Betty possesses both exquisite taste and unusual ability. Her goal is Trinity. We are sure that she will be as popular there as she has been at Saint Xavier’s for four years. ELIZABETH BARBARA PITT 258 Williams Street Providence, R. I Let us introduce to you our quietest girl, Elizabeth. Really, one must look around to see if she is present; but when she is absent, how we do miss her. She has been with us since our green-tie days and we are sorry to lose her now a “dignified senior.” We are sure Elizabeth will tread the path “Success” in future years. ................................................................... irri..................................... limn June, Nineteen Hundred and Twenty-nine

18 The Xavier .......................................................................................................... MMMMMMMmMIIMMHMMIIMUHnillMIIHMMIIIIIMm'Hill.MMMNW.. MARY DOROTHY SWEENEY 297 Highland Avenue Providence, R. I. “A friend is one before whom you may think aloud.” You may apply the significance of these words to our Mary. Her great executive ability has been ably displayed in everything she undertook to do during her four years at St. Xavier’s. We shall always remember her as the popular Miss with the charming personality. MARY ALICE McLAUGHLIN 18 Grosvenor Avenue Providence, R. I. Dark, grave and responsible, this is our Mary. But beneath this cloak which enshrouds her, there is a keen love of fun and sportsmanship. A descendant of a long, brilliant line, Mary most certainly does the family justice. When a freshman, she was obliged to take a two months’ leave of absence, but she returned to us only to be one of the leaders of her class in scholarship. We know that her voyage through life, administering to the sick will be appreciated. We wish you happiness. Mary! MABEL IRENE CURRAN 21 Armington Avenue Providence, R. I. “Multum in Parvo.” Take a peep! Look again! Oh. Yes! this is Mabel, Mt. Pleasant’s gift to S.X.A. High! Twice proud of the Celtic blood that flows through her veins! y We love our classmate. Her one regret in I life is that school does not consist of three periods. English, luncheon, and dismissal. Mabel Irene has heard the call of the faithful pioneer. Florence Nightingale, and we surmise she has responded with a generous heart. Au revoir, dear friend, and may your career be as noble as that of your famous predecessor. Good luck! MARGUERITE MARY HEALY East George Street Providence, R. I. Marguerite has the record of being the “latest” member of our class. Her charming “windblown” proves our words to be true. She is another one of those girls who do not believe that school should be taken too seriously. Her motto is: “School should be a pleasant earnestness.” She is one of our apt pupils in Shorthand. Good luck. Marguerite. une, Nineteen Hundred and Twenty-nine

Illlll iililiiiminMiliia 20 The Xavier MARIAN JANE GILMORE 78 Bluff Avenue Edgewood, R. I. How happy and care-free Marion always seems! From morning until night she beams with a pleasant countenance. Her outside activities are numerous but they do not interfere with her studies. Marian confirms the old adage, “The busiest person has the most time.” Or, “If you want something done, ask the busy person to do it for you.” She is generous, capable, and loyal. With such equipment, Marian is surely on the road to success. ELOISE ANN BURNS 631 South Main Street East Greenwich, R. I. We present, dear reader, one of the most popular girls of the class. “El” came to us three years ago from the “Metropolis of East Greenwich, situated in the heart of little ft y “Rhody.” During her career at St. Xavier’s, ) she has attained the reputation of being exceptionally witty as well as a perfect type of scholar. Being a good athlete also, it will not surprise us, next year when the radio informs us that Miss Eloise Burns is captain of the girl’s basketball team in her chosen school. ANNA ELIZABETH MAGUIRE 24 East George Street Providence, R. I. A gentle voice is one of the qualities of a lady, but while Anna is the possessor of that magic gift, her laugh and her ability to appreciate a joke are loudly known to the class. No study is difficult for this maiden, who believes in balancing her social calendar evenly, with her school program. However, merriment is one of her marked accomplishments. May Anna and Good Fortune ever be the best of friends. MARY CATHERINE MORAN 40 Abbott Street Providence, R. I. Quiet and demure are the adjectives that best describe our Mary. She came to us five years ago. but lost a year through illness. We were delighted to welcome her return and to find her well and strong enough to again take up her school work. Her time in S.X.A. has won the hearts of all her teachers and classmates. Mary is efficient in all her lessons and especially in phonography. May her future years be as successful as the years of her school life. Best of luck, Mary! iiiMiiiinmiiHHMi ............................................................ itwMitiiinimNiiiinra ......
